Synopsis
Album Description The Ventures are the most successful instrumental group of the rock era, having sold over 50 million records since 1960. Their worldwide popularity continues today, drawing huge crowds to their concerts. The live performances included in this collection were recorded between 1990 and 2002, and were taken mostly from their very successful tours of Japan. This two CD set is the first-ever live anthology collection released by The Ventures, and is a must-have for any Ventures fan. Every important song the group recorded is featured, including "Walk-Don?t Run," "Hawaii Five-O," "Perfidia," "Secret Agent Man," and of course "Walk-Don?t Run ?64." This release also features some of the last recordings with original drummer and founding member Mel Taylor (he plays on the first eight tracks). This two CD set comes complete with an eight-page booklet featuring photos and a new interview with the band. |
CD ReviewsIts good but somehow lacks the punch from their sixties live Cesar Uyeyama | Peru | 09/09/2006 (3 out of 5 stars) "Although this double album has very good recordings and clear sound, for me this compilation of live performances (from 1999 to 2002)don't have the same energy and punch from the early 60's. If you are new to The Ventures I rather recommend "The Ventures Live in Japan '65"."
